<p>I intend this to act as a sort-of pre-MCP, as there was some pushback against the idea</p>

<p>I am interested in this from two angles:</p>
<ul>
<li>I feel that long-term this is the right thing to do to make the overall rust build more boring</li>
<li>Short term, I think this could help IDEs with analysis of standard library, as currently IDEs can't really distinguish between stdlib crates and compiler crates</li>
</ul>

<p>I remain neutral on this, I think it could be good but I don't personally have bandwidth to push it forward. Thanks for writing up the doc!</p>
